Solar power for girls’ hostel, India

, , , ,

Around 150 tribal girls from the remote village of Kechla (Koraput District, Odisha State) live in a hostel in the Auro-Mira community in order to attend school. The local supply of electricity is difficult and therefore in order to support the living and learning environment, a solar power unit is required to ensure power supply in the hostel building.

The girls’ hostel provides equal opportunities for girls from poor tribal villages in this remote area where girls usually have no opportunity to attend school.

The solar power unit will ultimately provide environmental sustainability and lower electricity costs over time.
